RegTech is no less a product of its epoch than the original credit card was: the 2008 crisis panicked regulators who started legislating enthusiastically, in turn giving rise to compliance challenges for companies in every sector.

Alongside these developments came the further maturity of technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, and blockchain.

Finally, all it took were disgruntled tech-savvy bankers and kids looking to whet their entrepreneurial appetites to start founding companies, and voilà: the age of RegTech.
